Toulouse vs Nice Prediction & Match Preview

• Toulouse won three of the previous four Ligue 1 games.
• Nice are winless in four successive league fixtures.
• Only one of Nice’s last seven league outings provided three or more goals.

Toulouse take on Nice in the first game of Sunday’s Ligue 1 schedule. The hosts enter the tie in higher spirits. They won three of the previous four league outings to climb to 11th position in the Ligue 1 standings. The latest of their successes came seven days ago. Les Pitchouns completed a second-half comeback in an impressive 3-1 win over Nice at Stadium de Toulouse.

Spanish manager Carles Martinez has obviously found the winning formula for this Toulouse team. Les Pitchouns has also produced two outstanding showings in an UEFA Europa League double-header against Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders Benfica. The French outfit were eliminated 1-2 on aggregate, although they certainly deserved to advance from that tie.

The story is quite opposite with Nice. The visitors had been one of the most pleasant surprises of the first half of the season. Nevertheless, their form has seen a huge slide in recent weeks. Francesco Farioli’s men are winless in four consecutive league fixtures. They dropped out of the top-three in the league table as a consequence.

Recent Meetings

Nice will enter this on the back of three wins and two draws in the last five games against Les Pitchouns.

The run includes a 1-0 victory in the return game played in November last year at Allianz Riviera.

Only one of the previous six H2H affairs between these rivals produced three or more goals.

Toulouse vs Nice Prediction

Nice failed to break the deadlock in a disappointing goalless draw at home to Clermont last weekend. They did not score in three of the last four Ligue 1 matches. Les Aiglons also left too much space at the back seven days ago, allowing the likes of Clermont generate an xG higher than 2.00. Toulouse are enjoying a fantastic form these days. They won three of the last four league matches and they left a great impression in two UEFA Europa League ties with Benfica last month. We see big value in backing the in-form Toulouse to get the win on Sunday at the attractive 3.40 odds.

Nice play tight, defensive-minded football under Farioli this season. Only one of the last five games they played in the league saw two or more goals scored. The visitors still own the best defensive record in the division with 15 goals conceded in 23 league fixtures so far in the season. As none of the previous four head-to-head clashes between Toulouse and Nice saw three or more goals scored, we will alternatively go for the Under 2.5 goals FT pick at the 1.60 odds.
